[QUOTE="dearl, post: 351539, member: 1760"] I have a 17/55 lowe roughneck with a jet outboard and run the Skyjacker hydraulic transom jack with 6" of setback and never had a problem with cavitation unless it gets pretty choppy. A Jack plate is a must with my boat because I start with the motor lower at take off then raise it up to full height at WOT. I too am a die hard catman and i know what your trying to accomplish, biggest thing is to keep it light, use aluminum for everything possible, and if you really dont need it, take it out. I'm working on the floor of mine right now, I'll start a new thread soon so you can get a feel for maybe what you want to do. [/QUOTE]
